The biggest names in winter sports—everyone from Shaun White to Kelly Clark—will be participating in the 2013 edition of the games, and the tough competition is sure to make this year’s event the best in history.

The snow on the ground and the cold in the air can only mean one thing: It’s time for the start of the Winter X Games from Aspen, Colorado.

There is no bigger name at the Winter X Games than snowboarding legend Shaun White. Despite cutting his signature long red hair, the Flying Tomato will be back once again this year looking to win the gold medal in both SlopeStyle and SuperPipe.

White will have tough competition in the SuperPipe event, but he is the five-time champion and will once again take home the gold. The X Games veteran will have a harder time winning gold in SlopeStyle, though.

The rise of young star Mark McMorris has created legitimate competition for White. The veteran will be looking to avenge the fact that Morris walked away with the gold medal in SlopeStyle last time.

Tucker Hibbert: Snowmobile SnoCross

While Snowmobile SnoCrosshasn’t picked up much steam with the mainstream media, the pure domination by American star Tucker Hibbert in the event should have even casual X Games fans tuning in to see what this sport is all about.

Hibbert is attempting to become the first-ever Winter X Games participant to win six straight gold medals in any single event, and his quest for legend status will be one of the biggest storylines to watch during this year's event.
